Best Basil And Prosciutto Corn Muffins Recipes

BASIL CORN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups.
• In large bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt with whisk. Stir in corn and basil. In medium bowl, mix milk, melted butter and egg. Stir into flour mixture, just until moistened. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
• Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Serve warm.

MINI ITALIAN FRITTATAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Brush a standard 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil, including the top of the pan.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large (12-inch) sauté pan. Add the leeks and sauté for 3 minutes, until tender. Add the prosciutto and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, breaking it up with a fork. Add the spinach, tossing with tongs, then cover the pan and cook for 3 minutes, tossing once while it cooks, until the spinach is all wilted. Off the heat, stir in the basil and lemon juice and set aside for 5 minutes. Divide the mixture with tongs among the 12 muffin cups, leaving any liquid behind. Sprinkle the Fontina evenly on top.
• In a 4-cup liquid measuring cup, beat the eggs, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together with a fork. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the filling in each cup, filling the muffin cups to the top. Sprinkle each frittata with the Parmesan cheese.
• Bake the frittatas for 20 to 25 minutes, until puffed and lightly browned on top. If you insert a toothpick in the middle, they should feel firm. Cool for 5 minutes, remove with a small sharp knife onto a serving plate, and serve hot or warm.

BASIL AND PROSCIUTTO CORN MUFFINS RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 180 C (350 F). In a large mixing bowl add the polenta, rice flour, potato starch, Italian seasoning, soda, salt & pepper. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, eggs, and lemon juice, and then combine with the dry ingredients. Grease a muffin tin with butter, and then place a basil leaf in the bottom of each and line each cup with prosciutto. Pour the batter in, and bake for about 20 minutes or until cooked through (in my oven they took about 30 minutes).

BASIC CORN MUFFINS

• In a large bowl, mix together corn meal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add egg, oil and milk; stir gently to combine. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.

BASIL CORN MUFFINS WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter and flour 12 standard muffin cups. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Add butter, buttermilk, and egg and whisk until combined. With a rubber spatula, fold in corn and basil.
• Fill each muffin cup with rounded 1/3 cup batter. Bake until muffins are puffed, set, and light golden on top, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating pan halfway through. Let muffins cool completely in pan on a wire rack. (Store in an airtight container, up to 3 days.) Serve with goat cheese.

CREAMY CORN PASTA WITH BASIL

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until 1 minute shy of al dente, according to the package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in large sauté pan over medium heat; add scallion whites and a pinch of salt and cook until soft, 3 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and all but 1/4 cup corn; simmer until corn is heated through and almost tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, transfer to a blender, and purée mixture until smooth, adding a little extra water if needed to get a thick but pourable texture.
• Heat the same skillet over high heat. Add butter and let melt. Add reserved 1/4 cup corn and cook until tender, 1 to 2 minutes. (It's O.K. if the butter browns; that deepens the flavor.) Add the corn purée and cook for 30 seconds to heat and combine the flavors.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add pasta and half the reserved pasta cooking water, tossing to coat. Cook for 1 minute, then add a little more of the pasta cooking water if the mixture seems too thick. Stir in 1/4 cup of the scallion greens, the Parmesan, the herbs, the red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle with fresh lemon juice to taste. Transfer to warm pasta bowls and garnish with more scallions, herbs, a drizzle of olive oil and black pepper.

SUMMER GARDEN TORTELLONI

Steps:

• Cook tortelloni in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (2 tablespoons salt for 6 quarts water) according to package instructions.
• While tortelloni boils, cook garlic, prosciutto, corn, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in butter in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until corn is just tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, chop tomatoes.
• Combine corn mixture and tomatoes in a large bowl.
• Reserve 1/4 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain tortelloni and add to vegetables along with reserved cooking water and basil. Toss well and season with salt and pepper.
